Designed in London. Handcrafted in Italy. More than a bag — it’s a reminder to slow down, live fully, and carry only what truly matters.

MANIFESTO

AMAE (ah-mah-eh) comes from the Japanese concept of sweet, indulgent closeness — the trust of being held by someone who already knows what you need.

We started this brand because we wanted a bag that felt like that. Something familiar. Something you reach for without thinking. Something that doesn't ask you to keep up — it just moves with you.

We make crystal-mesh bags with interchangeable pouches, handmade in a small workshop in Italy. One bag, many moods. Swap the pouch whenever you want a change. No need to replace the whole thing.

That’s the idea. Less, but better.

THE CONCEPT

Every AMAE bag is two pieces: a crystal-mesh outer and a soft pouch that sits inside. They come together — one bag, ready to carry.

The pouch slides out. A different one slides in. Satin for an evening out, cotton for every day. Same bag, completely different feeling.

You can also carry the pouch on its own — it works as a standalone bag whenever you want something lighter.

One bag. As many moods as you like.

BEHIND AMAE

It’s Giorgia and Stefania — le ragazze.

We’re best friends who started AMAE because we couldn’t find a bag that worked the way we live. We wanted something beautiful that didn’t need replacing every season. Something handmade, not mass-produced. Something that felt as good on a Monday morning as it does on a Friday night.

So we made it. In a small Italian workshop, with our own hands in the process, in very small batches. Every bag is made with care — and honestly, a lot of patience.

We’re not trying to build a fast brand. We’re trying to build one that lasts.
